Harming Children on Purpose

Razor blades embedded in playground equipment?!  I thought that nobody would do such a thing.  Until the news reported that it has happened four times in a San Diego, CA playground.  And in an Illinois playground a month ago.  And in Philadelphia eleven months ago.  Where else, I wonder.

But I wonder even more how anyone could fasten razor blades to jungle gyms and climbing bars or bury them in sandboxes, knowing full well that little children would have fingers, hands, and knees sliced open, causing pain to them and their parents.

I hope for a quick catching and prosecuting of those people.  An adult’s responsibility is to protect children, not to terrorize them.

    I also heard about this; those doing this are evil and need to be caught.

      I agree. I don’t use the word “evil” for too many people, but the label fits for those who get joy out of harming children.
